Sometimes it’s because the food just sucks.

Yes, amazing isn’t it?

This is the same city that has newspapers etal continually reporting how HATED PDT is, how the world hates US because of PDT

THEN

They sue PDT for having Hotels and Restaurants in HIS name which give him an unfair advantage of other businesses because his ‘popularity’ attracts local and foreign customers

I guess this is what shows up in the Funk&Wagnalls when you ask about a ‘Love/Hate’ relationship.

Typical deceit from ya-who.

The title of the piece...

Sandwich Chain Closes Because Customers Can't Stomach That Owner Met Donald Trump

...has nothing to do with what really happened... (emphasis added)

Patten faced the backlash after an event in January 2017 with the president at the Small Business Administration. Taylor gave a short speech to Trump about how the food industry relies on immigrants and the American-born children of immigrants for staff, and Patten’s desire to reduce regulations that would affect his employees.

Just insert "illegal" in front of "immigrants", and there you have the backlash.

Build the Wall, deport those who chose to be here illegally, MAGA.

Misleading headline. In the article: “Taylor gave a short speech to Trump about how the food industry relies on immigrants and the American-born children of immigrants for staff, and Patten’s desire to reduce regulations that would affect his employees.”

I guess the customers did not appreciate the owners’ attacks on Trump”s immigration policies.

“Seventeen locations are in D.C. and surrounding areas and two more are in Chicago.”

Well, there you have it. If some of the restaurants had been built somewhere besides very blue cities, we’d know if politics was a factor. If it is politics, the restaurants in red areas/states will do all right. Chick-Fil-A doesn’t seem to be hurting from its association with conservatives.

Patten faced the backlash after an event in January 2017 with the president at the Small Business Administration. Taylor gave a short speech to Trump about how the food industry relies on immigrants and the American-born children of immigrants for staff, and Patten’s desire to reduce regulations that would affect his employees.

A D.C. neighborhood site, PoPville, posted an item about Patten’s attendance and a link to a photo. A social-media furor resulted.

Patten said later that he is “apolitical,” and he used his opportunity with the president to push small-business issues. President Barack Obama appeared at one of Taylor Gourmet’s outlets in 2012, and spoke about challenges facing small businesses with Patten and co-founder David Mazza.

Lost on the idiots that protested is that he was arguing on behalf of immigrants.

I can see how a pro Trump business heavily invested in DC locations could get into trouble in today’s divisive, identity politics culture.

The same stores concentrated in a pro Trump area would flourish.

We are dealing with a fanatic cult. My music teach er of 14 years will no longer talk to me because I refused too vote for Hillary and got into an argument with her when she said Trump was Hitler (this was before the election).
